BURNER.

Specification of Letters Eatent.

Patented July 4, 1916..

Application filed Larch 26, 1918. serial No. 855,430.

To all'whom it may camera.- i

Be it known that I, WHJJ'AM C Gnome, a citizen of the United States, residing at iola, in the county of Allen and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Burner, of which the following is a specification.

The device formm% the sub'ect matter this application is a urner a apted to convert a liquid fuel of any kind into gas, but of peculiar eficiency in connection with distillate oil.

The invention aims to provide a novel valve structure for a device of this type, so constituted that it may be located within a stove, and be subjected to heat, without de-.

terioration or injury.

Another object of the invention is to provide novel ni eans whereby the flames proceeding from the burner tube are adequately 5 read.

R is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the present invention appertains. I

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention Besides in the combina tion and arrangement of artsand in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the involition herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings -Figure 1' shows, in vertical longitudinal section, a de vice constructed in accordance "with the present invention, partsappearing in elevation; Fig. 2 is a top plan view of a combustion device embodylng the present invention, parts being broken away; and Fig. 3 shows a cross section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. i

1n carryin out the present invention there is provi ed a base 1 which may be sup-- ported on legs 2 the base 1 being equipped with a margina flange 3. Formed in the base 1 are air inlet openings a between which is located a priming trough 5. Upstanding from the base 1 are end walls 6 and 7.

The numeral 8 indicates a ortid'n of the wall of a stove in which the evice forming the subject matter of this application is adapted to be mounted.

- The invention includes a burner pipe comprising alined tubular sections 9 and 10. On the inner ends of the sections 9 and 10 is threaded a coupling 11. Disposed within the burner ends of the sections 9 and 10 of the burner pipe is a nipple 12 having a circumscribing rib 14 which is bound between the end walls of the sections 9 and 10 linden the action of the threaded coupling 11. The nipple 12 is provided with a bore 15 terminating at its outer end in a valve seat 16. Disposed in the outer end of the section 10 of the burner pipe is a tube 17 having an outstanding flange 18 coacting with the end of the outer section 10 of the burner pipe. Bearing against the outer face of the flange 18 is a; packing 19. Threaded onto the section 10 of the burner pipe is a cap 20 which serves to compress the packing 19 against the flange 18, and holds the flange 18 against the section 10 of the burner pipe.

Movable longitudinally in the end wall of the cap 20 is a needle valve 21. threaded into the tube 17 and adapted at its inner end to coact with the seat 16 in the ni'pple'l2. The valve 21 may carry ahand-wheel 22. The section 9 of the burner pipe is provided with an upstanding end 52, communicating with a retort 23 disposed above the burner pipe. The burner pipe 9-10 passes through in notches in the end walls if desired. Assembled with the outer end of the retort 23 is a reducer .24 connected with a coupling 25 from which extends an oil pipe 28, the coupling 26 carrying a valve 21'. Disposed within the retort- 23 is a filler 28 preferably in the form of a solid metal bar and equipped at its ends with radial lugs 29 which, coasting with the retort 23, space the tiller 28 from the inner surface of the retort so that the oil will pass through the retort in the form of a comparatively thin sheet.

The section 10 of the burner pipe is pro vided in. its top with an opening 30, and the section 9 has a similar opening 31,- The openings 30 and 31 are disposed below hollow conical deflectors 32, having internal chambers Across the upper ends of the deflectors bridges 34: with which are assembled rings surrounding the retort and upholchng spreaders 3'2. The rings are held in adjusted positions oh the resort by means of set screws 36.

Kn practical operation, fiche gas in the burner cube 9-10 burns at the openings and 33. The flames thus produced are defiecied by the cones 32 onto the Spreaders 3! and are caused to shoot outwardly and lateraliyb Air is admitted through the openings 4* in the bees 1, end hof; blue flame-is produced. (Ewing to the fact that the cones 32 are hollow, a, minimum amount of heat will be required to raise ihem to ihe desired temperature Gil admitted to the pipe 26 flows into the retort 23 and is thinned out into a, sheet by the action of the filler 28, This sheet of oil is vaporized by the heel; emitted at the burner openings 30 and 31. The gas thus produced passes by my of the part 52 into the sections 9 and 18 of the burner pipe.

Especial attention is directed to ihe feet that the seat carryiiig niieele is located between the burner ogzeniiugs 30 and 31, By a.- proper manipulation of the needle valve 21, the iii; the epeeiiig 3G may he elm iinguished, the heme at the opening 31 only, being permitted to burn. I

The sectionsfi and 10 of the burner, pipe, the nipple 12 and the needle valve 21 are made of a good grade of sfieel, Well adapied to withstand e high temperature. Consequently the valve struceure will not deteriorate, although it is exposed to great heat. flhe construction is such that by separating the sections 9 and 10 of the burner pipe, the nipple 12 may he IeI-ilBW'dCl at any time should such an operation be neces ary.

Having thus described the invention What is claimed is 1. in a, device of the class described, a supporting siructure; and e ll-shaped member mounted on the supporting structure, the U-sheped member comprising a retorl and a burner tube disposed below the retor I supporting structure;

memes;

ihe burner tube being; provided Wiih spaced openings; valve seat mike burner tube and located between ihe openings; end a ilefidle valve operating in the end of the burner tube, one end of the valve cooperei ing with the seat, the ether end of the needie valve being accessible from a point beyond the burner tube, whereby the fiovv of fluid $30 one of said cpenin s may be cut olif from a point exterior to the supporting" structure.

2. In a device cf the class described, a

s lJ-shcped member mounted on the supportin structure and including a retort and a burner tube located beiow the retort, the burner tube comprising separate sections having openings; a, cow pling uniting" the ends of the sections; a nipple in the inner ends of the sections and ZZWGVideCl with a circumscribing rib engaged between the end feces needle valve in one of said sections and coopereiirig with the nipple.

of the sections; and a 3, iii a, device of the class described e' sugoportiiig sirueture; a U-sheped member carried, by the supperzbing si-riicture and iiiciucling a burner 'uioe end a X'fitflli: loceeed ebeve the burner iube; e hollew conicelde iieccor disposed below the retort eiid iir cluding'e transverse bridge ex'cended across the wider end of the deflector, there being a ring assembled with ihe bridge, the ring stirrounding the retort; and a spreader carried by the ring and disposed above the retort; the burner tube having an opening disposed below are deflector. v I
